Secrets in Time

A/N: Slightly AUish. Loosely set in the summer before year 5. Things are lil dif. Ron and Hermine got together at the end of year four. Lily and Snapes history is slightly different in the books. That will be revealed as this goes on.

Harry Potter was getting so annoyed; it happened a lot when Snape came to the Grimald house with some important mission and stayed there. He brought a dark mood with him. He and Sirius traded barbs way too much. The whole house could hear it. The rest of the Weasly's had the good fortune to be gone. Lupin was busy at his house taking his were wolf potion. So he was here having to bear with it himself. He, Ron, and Hermione were staying there for the Summer. It was better to be protected from Voldermolt there. Harry disliked this very much when this usually happened he would try to lock himself in his room and be distracted with Ron and Herminie trying to tune the fight out but he couldn't right now they were in Herminie's room and from the way Ron looked at him as he shut the door he could tell they didn't want company. Whatever. Sometimes it weirded him out that Ron and Herminie all of the sudden have gotten so close this summer, but they were his friends and if they were happy so was he.

He just wished he could tune out Snape's sarcastic vile remarks about Sirius and his father. Taunting him and making fun of them. His father was dead did he have no respect? Snape always had a way of telling just how awful his father was. He hated when Snape spoke of his father. He was just jealous obviously. His father was cool and him, Sirius, and Lupin were total studs. Yeah, Snape was just a winey jealous guy who ….

Screaming came from the room Heromine was staying at. That was not good. He rushed in there hoping against hope he didn't see something he didn't want to see there he saw Ron still screaming and jumping off of the bed while a mysterious girl fell off the bed. Her red hair scattered everywhere at first Harry thought it was Ginny and she walked in on Ron and Hermione but then he look at her black clothes and then she flipped her hair and saw her face she most certainly was not Ginny. She did look familiar though. He just couldn't quite put his finger on it. Then as he looked around he realized Hermoine was nowhere to be found.

Ron grabbed his wand and pointed it at the strange girl.

"Where is she?" Ron yelled.

Then she quickly grabbed her wand pointed at him and said, "What did you do with him? If this is some prank Potter pulled you in I swear."

Then Harry went in between them both and said, "Alright let's just calm down and figure this out. Wait? Did you say Potter? Why would I prank you if we just met?"

"You? No I was talking about the forever pain in my side James Potter. Him and his lame Mauraunder friends are always giving me grief."

"James Potter?" Harry said in shock.

He looked at this red haired girl again and looked at her soft features and her green eyes. His green eyes. Everyone always told him he had his mother eyes.

"Oh my…" Harry uttered.

"Bloody Hell." Ron said.

"You …you're Lily…Lily Evans." Harry stuttered.

"I know who I am the question is how do you know who I am? Why do you have me trapped here?"

"We don't. We have no idea how you got here. But you're my…"

Then suddenly Sirius walked in and said, "Harry, what is all of the racket?"

Then he stopped and stared at Lily his mouth dropping in complete shock.

Then he looked at Harry, "What did you do? You know can't mess with that kind of magic."

"I didn't. It wasn't me I swear."

Lily looked at Sirius and said, "Sirius Black what did you do take an aging potion gone wrong?"

"Ha. Ha. No."

"What? Then how are you….? Oh crap."

She then she stuffed her hand in her shirt. All these guys stared at her.

"Oh crap I lost it. Oh, this is not good professor McGonagall is going to kill me. Forget her, if the Ministry of Magic finds out I meddled in time and went to the bloody future I am bloody toast. I don't know what's worse getting thrown in Azkaban or getting expelled. Uh."

She put her hand through her hair utterly stressed.

"What is that?" Sirius asked.

She glared at Sirius, "None of your business."

Harry looked between Sirius and his Mother. It was so strange seeing her; it looked like she was around his age. He couldn't understand her looks and retorts to Sirius he thought they were friends.

Then Ron said worried, "So if you're in the future then that means Hermione is in the past?"

"Possibly. She was in the room with you. Where I was?"

"Yeah." Ron said blushing obviously thinking about what they were doing when she was in the room.

"OK, so does she have a time turner?" Lily asked.

"Yeah, she does actually it got caught on my watch when we were… so then…oh…" Ron said it dawning on him.

"OK, mystery solved about how I got here. It must have activated at the same time. So where is Hermoines?"

"I don't know." Ron said looking lost. He then started frantically searching the bed and then went under the bed.

"It has to be here somewhere." Ron said clearly panicking.

Lily looked like she was deep in thought scanning the room.

"There has to be another way." She said more thinking out loud.

Then Snape came in and said, "What is going on here Potter? We have a les…"

He stared at Lily totally stunned and dropped his wand not believing his eyes. For the first time Harry actually saw emotion and heart ache on Snapes stone cold face. It was like he completely changed in that moment. His features turned from stoic to vulnerable.

"How?" Snaped could barely utter.

Lily stared at Snape for a while and then smile spread across her face. She then attacked him with a hug.

"Oh, thank Merlin. Sevvy! Finally a friendly face!"

Then she parted from him and really looked at him, "So this is what you look like when you're older. Hmmmmm."

He whispered, "I must be dreaming."

Harry and Ron stared at them dumbstruck with their mouths fallen open in shock.

Sirius simply rolled his eyes.

"No Snivlus you're not dreaming. It's real. Lily's from the past."

He pulled away, "Harry. What did you and you're friends do?"

"Why does everyone blame me?" Harry said giving Snape a dirty look.

Lily said, "Relax Sevvy, this little Potter had nothing to do with it. I think it was just some snogging related mishap. Remember that time when we were snogging in Slythering Storage closet?"

Ron and Harry's eyes popped out of their head at that comment, either believing it.

"It's been a long time." He said as he gently removed her arm from him. He stared at her, heart ache piercing through his eyes.

"Well I think while we were snogging that my time turner got activated. It looks like this Ron kid and his girlfriend were doing the same thing so…"

Snape gave Ron a piercing look.

Harry stared at his mom and Snape in shock while she light heartedly talked about snogging with Snape gave him a shudder. That was something he didn't want to think about. He could not even fathom Snape ever being with any girl let alone his mother.

"OK so where is the time turner now?" Snape asked.

"I don't know it's lost." Lily said some what upset.

Snape stared at her at a loss of words looking so conflicted.

Lily seemed deep in thought the wheels were turning.

"Oh, remember that one potion we concocted when I lost my time turner before?"

Snape didn't say anything for a while "Sevvy! Wake up. Do you remember?"

"Vaguley, I may have it in my things. I'll go look in my old school things at home." Snape said.

"Home? Ooooo can I go see it? Oooooo is future me there? Oh and our kids? Did we end up having all girls like I wanted or just a one boy just like you wanted? "

"I….I can't…. I can't tell you the future. It's dangerous."

"Oh, of course you're right. I can't know too much about my future. You're right. OK Sevvy hurry on then, I can't wait to get back to present you. We were in the middle of something." Lilly said.

"I better get that potion ingredients before anymore damage is done. No one tell her about her future. You got me, Potter."

Harry nodded. It hurt so much to agree to but he could see this Lily would have a very rude awakening if he told her how her future turned out.

He always imagined meeting his mother and asking her so many questions and now he couldn't. He couldn't ask her what his father was like and how they met and how they fell in love. He couldn't ask her what it was like in that first year he was born or any of it. All he could do was stare and wonder why didn't any one tell him about what his mother was really like. He always got the picture perfect girl and this perfect sweet kind hearted woman. He always thought her parents met went to school together and fell in love. It never occurred to him that either of them would ever be with any one else and especially in a million years would it occur to him that she hated his father and was in love Snape.
